[CQ-Contest] Skimmer

[Bill Tippett]

         This may present an interesting dilemma for contest
sponsors.  Skimmer is pure hardware...no external help from other
ops.  How could you disallow Skimmer (effectively gleaning spots
like Packet) and yet allow SO2R?  Both are purely hardware, so
why allow one and not the other?

         Another problem is how to police whether spots are
coming from Skimmer or Packet?  I remember competing
against a "single op" on 10m who claimed his Sub-RX
allowed him to have multiplier totals like multi-multis.  ;-)
Now he could claim he was using Skimmer, which might be
legal depending on how the sponsors rule on it.
